Is $10 Million for Jolie-Pitt Baby Photos Too Over the Top?

The celebrity baby photo market just keeps getting crazier, and the newest estimate is that the Jolie-Pitts could fetch up to $10 million for the first photos of their new twins. (Also, twins? I'm still not sure I believe that.) People supposedly paid J. Lo and Marc $6 million for photos of their babies, while Christina reportedly got $1.5 million. The whole thing seems pretty ridiculous, but we do love seeing the final product. What do you think — are celebrity baby photo prices too outrageous these days?

The money going elsewhere because it does not sell makes no sense. Who cares if it will not sell once they payday has been reaped? In case of the JoliePitts who cares? $10mil will be going to help so many in these times where charity giving is gotten so tough; where people will see The Dark Prince at $10 2 and a 3rd times easier than they will donate. People are so judging and I do not think any of it would be discussed if it were not about the JoliePitt family. They did not invent selling photos contrary to what some would like to suggest but they are the beginners of giving over proceeds yet they get the gruff.

and i dunno if its rumor or not but for JLO twins(awww)ive heard that PEOPLE has paid $6 milion for the US right and OK has paid $6 milion for the Worldwide right! so its mean $12 milion! still more than Brangelina! though i dont care how much celebs get or what they do with money! i just LOVED the People cover featuring JLO twins :WOOHOO:

Brad and Angelina put the money in a foundation but they only
donated about $2,500,000 out of it and look at all the publicity
it got them. It also was a good tax write off. I just don't feel
right about selling your kids for charity. There will be pictures
of them later.

How do we know that? I've never seen any verification that either Brad or Angelina received anything from the sale of Shiloh's photos. The foundation wasn't even established at the time the photos were sold. It is just as likely that the $$$ went directly from People/Hello! to the charities via Getty Images. The foundation gave out $2,500,000 in 2006, not last year. That is over 25% of their assets -- very commendable in 6 months -- compared to other foundations that give as little as 5%, which is mandatory, to retain their tax exempt status. We don't know what the put into the foundation in 2007 or what the foundation gave in 2007. We know that Brad said the $5 million pledge for http://www.makeitrightnola.org came from The J-P Foundation. Anyone who donates gets a tax break as it reduces their taxable income. AJ/BP aren't even in the top 1% of earners in this country but I'll bet they are up there in the ratio of what they earn to what they give.
What do you mean there will be picture of them later? You are essentially saying it is OK for the ratzis and tabloids and internet gossip sites to make money off the J-P kids, but not the J-P Foundation, right?

um seriously, there is something wrong with a society that even poses a question about celebrity baby pictures worth MILLIONS of dollars! We are all so jaded (me too, here I am posting on a gossip website, about Celebrities) that we lose sight of how much money that is and what good it could do. The headlines today in my local paper (SF) are about cutting city jobs because the city is in debt. Why don't we invest in the future of OUR kids and give money where it is needed so the parks are safe, hospitals well staffed, streets clean, homeless shelters open etc... I could go on and on. Yes it is a ridiculous amount of money for a baby picture on a magazine. We need to wise up!

They have plenty of money, they don't have to sellpictures to have money to donate. She also had Pax on the frontpage. US Weekly had a contest about who was the cutest kid. Iwould feel awful for my kids if there was such a comparsion ofthem. Aren't they all equal? It just isn't fair to the kids. Aprice just shouldn.t be put on them.
